Lampshade Love

Finally, the lampshade is finished and tucked back into its little corner.  I feel like I've been covered in loose threads and bits of hardened hot glue for a month although it's only been a week.  It turned out exactly as I'd envisioned it, which is always so gratifying.  

I couldn't find the lavender plaid fabric I thought I'd saved, but the touch of pink floral suits me better anyway and its crocheted trim at the top complements the ball trim along the bottom.  

I like the way the shade looks in every light--

--and I love all its many colors and patterns.  Love, love, love.  ♥

This makes me so happy.  :)

And it makes reading in bed that much more of a favorite thing. 

Bliss!  ♥
